Christmas is coming! Most of us are busy in preparing for this very special holiday. We started to buy foods and gifts, and attend Christmas parties. As of this, I helped again the nature.
We just attended classes for three days. On the first and second day, we just spent our time taking the long test of each subject. While in the last day, we have our Christmas Party. We have great time for fun even though I didn't join the parlor games. As of this, I helped the nature by means of managing wastes. I throw garbage properly in the trash can, then segregate it to biodegradable and non-biodegradable. I also donate used plastic bottles to our school. As I am making my assignments, I search for the answers in the book and not in the internet; and when I’m done with all of it, I am spending my time reviewing.
When the long weekend came, I seldom use computer. I also turn off the appliances and the lights not in use. I seldom use electricfan because it’s really cold. I clean my room and throw my garbage properly in the trash can. And lastly, as I am brushing my teeth, I use glass of water.

Educational Week at our school had passed. I and my classmates had a great time for fun while visiting booths of different subject departments. As of this, I did not just enjoy this week; I'm still able to help nature in little ways.
This week passed, I seldom use electricfan. It’s cold especially in morning and so I just let the cool breeze of the wind come over by our window. We don’t have much assignment to do because our teachers are very busy. As of this, I just spend my time reviewing and studying my lessons. Then, when I’m done with all of this, I just spend my time to rest and sleep. I also turn off the light not in use and unplug the appliances not in use.
When the long weekend came, I’m very busy due to some school practice, assignments/outputs to accomplish next week, and lastly long tests for this week. As of this I’m very busy but I still do little things to save nature like managing my waste. I also used to walk when I’m going to near places.
This Educational Week, I enjoy visiting booths and watching programs especially the English Medley Competition, wherein I, Joy Grace, Anzette won the first place in the card making. As of this, I did not just enjoy, but helped nature by simply throwing my garbage properly in the trash can.

This week is a cold and rainy week. According to the news, there’s a typhoon named “Pablo”, hit the island of Mindanao. This typhoon left a very tragic event to most residents out there. Many lives were gone and many streets / compounds are still flooded. As of this we should be more aware and ready of this calamity, and we should learn to love and take care of nature.
This week, we don’t have much assignments to do, and so I often use computer. I also often watch television in which I only watch when there’s news. I also often play gadgets; instead I just spend my time more on studying and reviewing lessons. When I’m brushing my teeth too, I use glass of water and prevent it of from leaking. And lastly, when I’m with all of these, I spend my time to rest and sleep.
This week, we also have our field trip. We went to Quezon Shrine, Gardenia and lastly at the Enchanted Kingdom. I get amazed as I learn new things / trivia from Quezon Shrine and Gardenia, and enjoy rides like Ekstreme & Space Shuttle at Enchanted Kingdom. As of this, I did not just enjoy this trip but, I also help nature by managing my wastes by throwing garbages properly in the trash can and collecting plastic bottle to be recycled.

A very busy week has passed. I spend my time mostly in making assignments and projects. As of this incidence, I helped again the nature in many ways.
Because the weather is cold and it is somewhat good time to sleep, I am able to sleep even without electricfan! I often use my cellphone and so, I often charge it. I also unplug the appliances not in use like charging my cellphone/ other gadgets.
Aside from it is cold; we’re very busy this week. We’re always having activities, homeworks and test; as a result, I used to sleep in 12 midnight this week! My computer is always turned on. To help the environment again, I make sure to turn off the appliances/ gadgets not in use. Like for example, our television, I used to turn it on if necessary or if we have to watch for news.
When I am brushing my teeth too, I use a glass of water. And I also make sure that there is no leaking water from the faucet.

5 Research Topics:
- Parents want to raise children who eat a variety of nutritious foods. What parenting strategies are the most successful in meeting this goal? (Strategies include: always clean your plate, eat two bites of everything, eat what you want, serve children only foods they like, etc.) Also, should parents use food as a reward?
- Should recycling plastic be mandatory?
- How is the music industry being affected by iTunes and other services that allow customers to buy individual songs as opposed to entire albums?
- What do teachers and students need to know about the role of multiple representations and their integration in the specialized written genres and professional practices of various subject disciplines?
- Does online social networking make people more or less likely to interact with people in "real life"?
"Desiderata" by Max Ehrman
As I read this lovely and a very inspirational poem made by Max Ehrman, I learned so many things that I should apply in daily life. It leaves a very wonderful message not only to those who gone astray, but also to people who still don’t believe to themselves, who compare themselves to others.
One of the stanza I like most is “With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy”. This stanza made me realize that in every bad thing happen to us, we should still be happy. We should not stop believing of what we want. That’s life. If we give up, it’s like losing money from a lottery for 1 day. Instead, we must be thankful of that; that this broken dream made us stronger. That in the future, these failures we experienced may be the reason why we became successful.

Another busy week passed. We have so many outputs,projects, assignments and even test to accomplish, yet I still don’t forget my duty as God’s steward to care and protect nature. This help may be little, but at least I did my best to preserve nature.
This week, as I am making my assignments/ outputs, I manage my waste. I throw my garbage properly in the trash can. I also collect papers to donate or to sell for good use. The computer is always turned on, but I make sure that there is no other gadget/ appliance that are open. And, when I’m with all of these, I spend my time to review, write lectures, sleep / rest instead of playing computer games or watching television.
Since the weather is something cold, I often use electric fan especially at night. I also don’t waste water by means of brushing my teeth using glass of water. I also make sure to turn off the light when not in use and even appliances. And lastly, I prefer to walk or to ride on a bicycle when going to near places. These are the few things I’ve done this week that you may notice a cyclic, but its part of my life, a duty to save nature.

This week, we have to go to school for 3 days only. This is due to some special holidays like All Saints Day and All Souls Day. This is the time where we visit cemetery to remember our beloved relatives who passed away. We light candles and put flowers into their grave. As of this, I can still help nature in many little ways.

Supposedly we'll have a Semestral Break, but unfortunately, we didn't. This is due to “Southwest Monsoon" wherein our class was suspended for 4 days. As of this, we should pay for those unexpected “no classes” by means of not having a semestral break. Most of the students are sad, but we should be thankful because we can still get benefit from that, we’re still able to learn.

A tiring week passed, Even though it’s just the start of Third Grading, we’re already doing some projects and activities. I need to study more yet, I never forget to take care of nature.
Third grading had just start. I spend my time more on studying and making assignments. As I am making assignments, I first look for some information in the textbook instead of surfing the internet immediately. For me, it is more reliable in textbooks compare to some sites in the internet. As of that, I helped again the nature to decrease the use of energy and I also help my parents in financial needs especially our electric bills. I also turn off the lights not in use. I often use gadgets and so I often charge it. And lastly, I often watch television. All I have to do is to focus in my studies.
This week I also manage my waste. I throw my garbage properly in the trash can. I also segregate it. In addition to that, I minimize the use of plastics/ plastic bags. I collect plastic bottles and papers for my project. When I have time, I also recycle.
When its weekend, all I have to do is to make assignments and go to my classmate’s house to practice our role play. When I’m done doing all of this, I sleep to regain the energy I lost for the past few days. See, it’s a very tiring week yet, it brings a lot of fun because I can still help nature a lot.

This week, I spend my time more on reviewing my lessons and making projects. The computer is always turned on and I use the lights frequently. But, I still don’t forget nature. While I am using computer, I make sure that there is no appliances open especially our television. I am only watching when there’s news. I also often use gadgets like cellphone, PSP of my brother, etc. It’s just a matter of wasting time, money and energy. I also unplug the appliances not in use. And lastly, as I am making projects, I manage my waste. I throw my waste properly in the trash can. I don’t throw papers and plastics bottles. Instead, I am collecting it and sell or donate to our school for them to recycle. And when I have time, I segregate it.
The day gets colder and colder; the number of days get shorter and the number of nights get longer. As of this I often use electric fan, and I don’t use much water to cool my body.
